Well, being in traditional publishing, it isn't like they have the expertise to do TV, movies, or video games in-house. Managing those sorts of thing centrally makes a goodly amount of sense. The title is a bit misleading, as it sounds like the brand is having the model applied, not so much the...

Mod note: How about you take the political portion of you grievance to a site that will welcome it, please and thanks.

Mod note: Hey. The snarky antagonistic attitude isn't constructive. If you can't do better, take a break from the thread, before a break is provided for you.

Continuing that thought a bit... I don't know your table, but it is quite possible that, if most of you are experienced players, and used to planning for highly effective play, you may be pushing her too hard to challenge you. One of the hardest things for a new D&D GM to learn is how to...

I think that is a luxury only highly experienced GMs can usually give you. Newer GMs, or GMs new to a ruleset, generally have to experiment and tweak in flight. Hey, guess what? The newbie GM gets to teach you something - how to be flexible and still have fun. One option for you is to stop...

I cannot pick one, or three, favorites. My brain does not rank them (or much of anything) in that manner.

You can always speak up for yourself. But then, you aren't acting as a coach. You should limit yourself to letting her know you've got a problem, and need her help working through it. If she's running a game for a bunch of people who have played or run games more than she has, she's at...

Is there any particular metric or information you are using to come to that conclusion, or is it just a feeling you have that it is okay? So interesting point here - why would we consider the output of a generative AI "speech"? As far as the mechanics of its operation are concerned, it does...

Did she ask for your help? Did she complain that folks aren't having a good time, and she doesn't know why? If not, it would be showing her great disrespect to step in.

I don't think this 26 page discussion has been limited to one target.

So, here's an issue we have to deal with. All technologies are expressed through specific implementations. What we refer to when we speak about a technology is actually a generalization, based off of however many specific implementations we are familiar with, and however deeply we understand...

I saw an example recently of Google's AI Summary assistant saying that a steamer or iron could be used to take the wrinkles off of men's private parts. And you can easily see how this happens. Text-based generative AI is mostly a word-association machine. Steamers and irons are associated...

I think it is a solution looking for a problem. No sarcasm there, either.

Restricting this to the general-use, generally-available things (like ChatGPT, or Claude, or Grok)... The question isn't if they were tested at all. The questions are what were they tested to do, and were they were tested to properly do the things people are using them for. In addition, there...

Yes. And maybe that's a good thing. Maybe generative AI should not be summarizing information that is associated with major consequences if you get it wrong.

Well, that heart-lung machine I mentioned earlier - do you figure the only tests ever done on it were directly in surgery? And that when they began tests in surgery, they just sold them to whoever and waited for someone to complain? Of course not! That thing was tested in its various...

If you watch Big Hero Six, and develop an inflatable robot that offers health care services, Disney can't come after you, as they probably didn't patent that concept in the course of making the movie. If you make your robot look like Baymax, Disney can come after you for using their...

That's why I mentioned that this is an entire profession. It is kind of like asking, "How do you do surgery?" You want someone who actually does surgery to answer it, and the answer is in no way short and simple.

Quality Assurance is an entire profession - several, really, across various domains. You hire a bunch of them and let them do their jobs.

We aren't? Well, maybe you and I aren't. But many are going to ChatGPT to get medical advice for themselves, their family members, and their pets. At what point of harm does a disclaimer at the bottom no longer serve? At what point is it no longer reasonable to just wave hands vaguely at it...
